I really enjoyed working for the Horwitz's jewelry stores. I learned so much from Francis on how to dress and become more professional in presentation to others. Her advice helped me move up the ladder in my future employment.

Ann and Sara..
I'm sorry for your loss. Frances was the nicest and classiest lady. She had a way of speaking her mind with genuine honesty then she would give you that beautiful smile. I always respected her as a business woman.I still brag that I learned the art of selling from the Horwitz family.
